Gordon College

Program Overview

Special education teachers are patient, passionate individuals with a vision for helping students succeed beyond their disabilities, whether physical, cognitive or emotional. A special education minor allows you to hone specific teaching skills for students with varying abilities, and earn a second license---meaning you could graduate with two majors and two licenses in the time that most college students are earning a single degree. This makes a Gordon-trained teacher a valuable asset to employers right away.
